Hunt during visit to Winstcn-Ssfem Thursday ...signed proclamation naming March 19, 1981 as National Agriculture Day Campaign stop in JV.C Carter calls election crucial. By CHARLES HERNDON Starr Writer WINSTON-SALEM With less than four weeks to go before election day, President Jimmy Carter brought his campaign to North Carolina Thursday afternoon, citing his administration's accomplishments and stressing the importance of the presidential election. "The election this November will be one of the most crucial contests of recent times... and not just between two men or between Democrat and Republican," Carter told a crowd of about 3,000 at the Dixie Classic Fair. "I hope the people of North Carolina will make the right choice on Nov. 4," he said. Campaigning on a two-day swing through the South, Carter was accompanied here by Gov. Jim Hunt, Sen. Robert Morgan, D-N.C., and other state Democratic dignitaries. Carter spent the morning in Tennessee and after the -stop in. North Carolina flew to Florida for a fund-raising dinner Thursday night. Carter spoke to the crowd about its Southern heritage, saying, "My background is the South and my present is the South and my future is the South." Carter denounced the policies of his Republican opponent, Ronald Reagan, at the rally, particularly in the area of economic policy and national defense. "My opponent has said the minimum wage has caused more hardship and suffering than the Great Depression. ..and that unemployment compensation has been a ticket for freeloaders," he said, reassuring the crowd of his support for such programs. On energy policy, Carter said his administration had created a solid energy base for the country. He said the nation was using two million fewer barrels of oil per day than in 1979. And again, the president criticized Reagan's positions on energy. "Ronald Reagan says 'Let the oil companies be unleashed to run the country's energy program for us.' " Much of Carter's speech dealt with agricultural and economic policies. He mentioned that the textile and tobacco industries, both of which are important to the state economy, ' had prospered under his administration. Carter pledged his support to tobacco growers and said he would eliminate a loophole in federal laws that allows foreign tobacco to be shredded outside the United States and imported as scrap leaf. "I intend to see the loophole that permits this unfair practice to be closed once and for all," he said. The president then'shifted his attention to economicTIssues and his differences with Reagan. "(Reagan) wants a massive election year tax cut, most of it' for the rich," Carter said. Such a tax cut would produce "unparalleled inflation," he said, adding that Reagan's vice presidential running mate, George Bush, had called the tax cut "voodoo economics." . Carter drew applause from the crowd when he promised a strong military fighting force. "There are those who say our nation is second-rate (militarily), but our nation is the strongest nation on earth and we will never be second to anyone," he said. See CARTER on page 2 Court could resolve election law dis mutes By KERRY DEROCIII Staff Writer Ambiguities in campus elections laws may result in two Student Supreme. Court cases. Senior Brian Goray, a candidate in the run-off election Wednesday for the District 17 seat on the Campus Governing Council, said Thursday he would appeal the decision of the UNC Elections Board to disqualify him. Goray had received 22 votes in the election and his opponent, sophomore Deborah Levinc, had received 17. The Elections Board voted Thursday to disqualify Goray based on election bylaws which state a candidate must submit a record of finances to the Elections Board by 5 p.m. the day of the election. Goray did not turn in a form until 2 p.m. Thursday. The appeal vw ill place a restraining order on Lcvine, thereby preventing her JL from assuming the position of District 17 representative. She cannot become an active member of the council until the case is resolved. Goray said his appeal was based on the elections board's interpretation of the bylaws.- "They justified holding only one meeting for the candidates before the general election on the grounds that the whole process (including the run-off) is one election," Goray said. "However, if it is only one election, I had already turned in an expense report for the election." The elections board ruled Thursday the candidate must submit a second finance record for the run-off election. The election bylaws, however, do not specify a second sheet must be submitted. "They said the run-off and the regular election were the same election," Goray' said. "The laws for the regular election i l 4 rvw Tin iroes Wayne Rackoff stated only one finance report for the election is needed." Elections Board Chairman Gregg James said the board was formulating a report of its decision to submit to the Supreme Court. See COURT on page Q BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Iran claimed Iraq fired missiles into two Iranian cities Thursday, inflicting the highest casualty toll of any action in the war. Both sides were dispatching envoys in an effort to enlist support from other countries. Iran, which claimed up to 180 killed and 300 wounded in Iraqi i missile attacks, reported major gains in the central section of the front and President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr told Tehran Radio "we are entering the final phase of the war." Revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini said victory was certain and Iran planned to replace the Iraqi regime with an Islamic government in Baghdad. Iraq said its forces continued to destroy enemy installations, but Baghdad did not confirm that it used Soviet-supplied ground-to-ground missiles for the first time in the conflict. Baghdad Radio said Iraqi forces were destroying vital military and economic installations at Dezful and that the city in the central sector of the front "is at the mercy of our ground fire.' Iran said Dezful was hit by missiles and also accused Iraq of bombing two hospitals in Ahwaz, 70 miles to the south. In Washington, State Department officials said the Soviet Union, and possibly other Warsaw Pact nations, was sending supplies to Iraq through the Jordanian port of Aqaba. Spokesman John Trattner said he did not know what types of supplies the Soviets were sending. Moscow has said it would remain neutral in the war. With the war in its 1 8th day Thursday, both sides stepped up diplomatic efforts. Iran said it planned to send a delegation to friendly countries to explain Iran's stand and that Iran also hoped to put its case before the U.N. Security Council. President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, apparently seeking outside aid or new mediation efforts, sent envoys to six countries Turkey, Greece, India, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Italy. Western diplomats in Ankara said they believed Hussein's envoy asked for Turkish mediation to end the conflict. Secretary-General Habib Chatti of the Islamic Conference was to go to Tehran and Baghdad in a new effort to promote settlement of the war, President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq of Pakistan said Thursday. The 40-nation Islamic Conference asked Zia to try to arrange a mediation effort. The Yugoslav news agency said Chatti was in Belgrade for a conference on Islam sponsored by the United Nations. In Tehran, Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Rajai told a Japanese television correspondent that "America is in no way concerned" with the 52 American hostages held in Iran since Nov. 4. Rajai was quoted by Tehran radio as saying in the interview that "even if all hostages were killed America would not consider it important, for it uses them as a pretext for any action to advance its interests." In the reported Iraqi missile attacks, the Iranian news agency said four giant ground-to-ground missiles hit Dezful and neighboring Andimeshk, killing 110 civilians and wounding 300 in Dezful and killing 60 to 70 people in Andimeshk. Tehran radio reported that Rajai said eight missiles were launched against Dezful and called it "yet another insane action" by Iraq. An Iranian military communique said each missile weighed 4,400 pounds and had a range of about 40 miles about the distance from the Iraqi border to Dezful, a vital road and rail center 150 miles north of the oil port city of Khorramshahr. Bani-Sadr, in personal command of Iran's forces, told Tehran raido that Iran had advanced six miles along a 24-mile front in the sector near Ahwaz, capital of Iran's oil-rich Khuzistan Province and that both sides had brought up reinforcements. He reported no major developments except for the Iranian advance and the Iraqi missile attack. Co ai seiors black 4 w enroiL&me By KEITH KING Staff Writer The University should look to high school counselors to aid in recruitment of black undergraduates, according to a UNC Office of Institutional Reasearch survey of entering freshmen in the fall of 1979. More than 18 percent of the black freshmen responding to the survey said high school counselors influenced their decision to attend the University, compared with the 7 percent who said they' were influenced by UNC admissions representatives. The 19-page survey report titled "Go Heels" said 17.9 percent of the blacks entering UNC in the fall of 1979 were influenced by their parents and added the University should use parents and counselors in its recruiting efforts. "Realizing that it is difficult to identify the parents of potential students initially, the University could encourage high school counselors to point out such students so that it -might be able to work with the parents also, since together these groups accounted for 35.5 percent of the black freshmen," the report said. Tim Sanford, associate director of the Office of Institutional Research said Wednesday the survey of the Chapel Hill campus is part of a larger survey of the 16-campus UNC system. Ninety-five percent of the enrolled freshmen responded to the four-page survey. Sanford said the UNC General Administration asked the survey be done to comply with requirements of the See SURVEY on page 2 r g, I i The original Gothfc-styla Memorial Hail ...ruled unsafe in 1929, it was rebuilt in 1931 iioae 'marc lies Campus has grown, changed By ANN PETERS Staff Writer Hinton James would not recognize his alma mater today.

When James arrived for his first day of classes there were no orientation counselors to greet him, no Pit to relax around during a break in classes or a Kenan Memorial Stadium to cheer the Tar Heels on to victory. East Dormitory, now known as Old East, which was then just two stories hgh; Steward's Hall, where students ate their meals; and Person Hall, the chapel, were the only existing buildings. Exactly west of the south end of East was a newly dug well, the community's scle source of water. The cornerstone for the first building, Old East, was bid two years before James arrived, on October 12, 1793. But the university soon expanded and new buildings were constructed as the number of students increased from the first-term enroUcment of 41. The campus had many well traveled dirt paths which eventually were covered with gravel. Around 1951, the old gravel paths bc-an to be replaced with brick. More administrative office buildings and dormitories were constructed, but their functions have charged through the years.
